Promotional image for an EUA Expert Voices article by Sjur Bergan, independent education expert. The visual features a picture of the author photographed outdoors, the logo of the European University Association, and a quote from the author: "Whether they take a full degree abroad or participate in a short term exchange, most students need to have their qualifications fairly recognised. This requires a good international legal basis as well as sound recognition policy and practice to make the legal framework function in practice."
Fair recognition of qualifications earned abroad is one of the cornerstones of student mobility. 📜 🎓 🚄

For the first time in my higher education career, this May I'll be on the Platform Party at a university Commencement. A reason, finally, to bring my doctoral regalia out of storage and wear it again. Last time I wore it was May 2018 when I graduated from LMU.

The Politics of Ethnic Studies, Cultural Centers, and Student Activism: The Voices of Black Women at the Academic Borderlands Dissertation Defense Frederick Smith Monday, March 26, 2018, 1 - 3 pm Loyola Marymount University Dr. Antonia Darder, Dissertation Chair Dr. Bryant K. Alexander, Dissertation Committee Dr. Kortney Hernandez, Dissertation Committee
Antonia Darder is with Frederick Smith and Kortney Hernandez. Tuesday at 9:32 AM • 6 Always a powertul moment to see our doctoral students advance research that provide powerful counternarratives to the "official" mainstream fallacies. In this case, Frederick Smith completed an eloquent study that centered the voices of Black women faculty, staff, and students who are also activists, speaking about their experiences in the academic borderlands. Also exciting was to have my former student and colleague, Dr. Kortney Hernandez serve on Fred's doctoral committee as both colleague and comrade. It was truly a moment that reminded me why I have persisted in this university work for more than 30 years. So, big congratulations to Fred! And, thank yous to Dr. Kortney Hernandez and Dr. Bryant Alexander for their invaluable support of Fred's work.
